Others praised the stunning presentation and delicious flavors of dishes like crostini and bouillabaisse. The ambiance was generally commended, with a light-filled bar area and comfortable seating. While some highlighted outstanding service, others found shortcomings in the hostess and waitstaff. Overall, Fig and Olive seems to be a hit or miss destination for diners looking for special occasions in DC, with food quality and service varying across reviews.
We had a wonderful meal at Fig and Olive DC. We started with the crostini a selection of The forest mushroom with truffle and artichoke was our favorite. My partner had the paella and I have the bouillabaisse. Both were prepared with a stunning presentation with flavor to match the appearance. A must visit restaurant when in DC
Was disappointed to be seated right next to the service station at pm in an empty restaurant. Workers talked loudly the entire time we were there. Had an amazing experience there in December. This time service was still excellent but food was barely mediocre. Boulliabaise was over salty with about four ounces of broth. Paella was gummy. Very disappointed. Have heard food is off and on. Bar scene is great and lively. Very loud when crowded
Great restaurant however service was poor and felt like we were being rushed
The downstairs barlounge area is lightfilled and comfortable—like your own living room, but much nicer and with great food and a pleasant staff. Highly recommend
Food was tasty, but original salad came out without any toppings. Took a few minutes to get our servers attention, but he happily replaced our salad when we did. Overall good food, a bit pricy, and suggest they add another server upstairs because there was only one and he was doing his best during a super busy lunch rush
